ON GROWING CLEMATIS 
SOIL. A rich well-drained loam, loosened by 
the addition of sand or peat moss, is best. Roots 
packed in moss should be carefully removed and 
set in a hole large enough to accommodate them 
without crowding. Make certain that the collar 
of the plant is set 2 to 3 inches below the sur¬ 
face of the soil. Firm the soil well around the 
roots. Water frequently in dry weather. 
LOCATION. A partially shaded location is 
ideal. If planted in full sun, shade the lower 
stems with low-growing plants. A mulch of 
peat moss is beneficial. 
FERTILIZING. Well-rotted manure is pre¬ 
ferred with fertilizer as a good second. Work 
it well into the soil without disturbing the roots. 
Use a little lime occasionally. 
TRELLIS. Provide a support at once—a 
trellis, wire netting, old stumps, low shrubs, 
dead branches, or stone walls. 
WINTER MULCH. With fall planting of 
Clematis use a mulch of straw, leaves, or peat 
moss for the first winter to prevent the soil from 
freezing and thawing, which sometimes damages 
the stems if they are unprotected. Mice and 
rabbits may be kept from eating the tops by 
h'lling the soil up around the stems or by putting 
small screens around them. 
PRUNING. Summer- a id fall-blooming 
Clematis should be pruned h.ick to 2 to 3 feet 
in early spring. Early spring bloomers flower 
on last year’s wood, so remove only dead wood 
in very early spring.
